The vineyard was established in 1995 and Michael says that this fragrant, stoney, gently spicy chardonnay has delicious, subtle fruit complexity of lemon, mandarin and yellow plum. It is, of course, youthful and vigorous, with creamy textural mouthfeel that builds power, drive and austerity for a long finish.\" It is fermented in barrels spontaneously, and matured in said barrels of which 20% are new (surprising, because this gets totally lost within the wine). This is really lovely and elegant, but it has an impressive core of good strong fruit running through the palate; and it will age gracefully also.

That was a cooler season than 2025, so this beautiful wine here may not last quite that long, but it may well do! This is a classy, highly perfumed, ripe, complete, classy pinot with impressive richness, depth and a swathe of red fruit opulence (cranberry seed, crushed ripe cherries, red berries etc.). The 20%+ new oak is lost in the wine, the tannins are there, but also covered in fleshy fruit and good body. There is a cherry liqueur character and some Asian spice and liquorice. Wow, this is a very lovely pinot! Like 2010 and 2015 it has great x-factor from the low crop and ripe season.
